Tick’d Off! Cover-up of Bioweapon Unleashed on Americans is Finally Coming to Light
If a government perpetrated biowarfare on its own citizens, would it constitute a declaration of civil war? Americans are under a biowarfare attack by their own government and have been for decades. That’s if all the evidence which points to that charge continues to be hit with sunlight. The U.S. Government has used biowarfare against its own citizens and perhaps worse, has been trying to cover it up for just as long because it’s so damning. It points to incompetence so severe that accountability is in order.
Cold War bioweapons research contributed to the deadly Lyme disease crisis now affecting hundreds of thousands of Americans. Adam Finnegan is a casualty of that war. He contracted Lyme disease and not only survived it but he made his life’s work to expose its origins and has done so like NO ONE else has.
- A Cold War experiment gone wrong? Newly resurfacing reporting and historical records are raising renewed questions about whether U.S. bioweapons research involving ticks and disease vectors may have played a role in the emergence of Lyme disease.
- The Nazi scientist connection: After World War II, the United States recruited former German bioweapons experts—including virologist Erich Traub—to assist American biological warfare research programs.
- Ground zero mystery: Lyme disease was first identified in 1975 in Lyme, Connecticut—just miles from Plum Island, a Cold War research facility that studied animal diseases and insect vectors.
- A personal fight for answers: After surviving Lyme disease himself, Adam Finnegan spent years investigating the illness’s origins, digging into declassified programs, military research, and suppressed historical records.
- Why the truth may still be buried: If government research played even an indirect role, the political, legal, and historical consequences could explain why the full story has remained fiercely contested for decades.
Recent reporting has revived scrutiny of U.S. government experiments involving ticks and infectious agents during the Cold War era. Documents and congressional inquiries have examined whether military researchers studied weaponizing ticks as disease carriers, including experiments designed to disperse infected insects to disable enemy populations.
Biowarfare Attack is Civil War
This renewed debate is exactly the territory explored by Adam Finnegan, author of The Sleeper Agent, who may be one of the most compelling voices available to discuss the shadowy history of America’s biological warfare programs — and their possible unintended consequences.
Finnegan’s interest in the subject of Biowarfare is not academic. He contracted Lyme disease himself, an illness that can devastate the immune system and leave sufferers battling neurological, cardiac, and autoimmune complications for years. The disease was first recognized in 1975 after a cluster of cases in Lyme and Old Lyme, Connecticut.
What began as a personal medical battle turned into an exhaustive investigation into the origins of Lyme disease and the Cold War research programs operating near where the outbreak was first detected.
Finnegan traces the story back to the aftermath of World War II, when the United States quietly recruited former Nazi scientists under programs like Operation Paperclip. Among them was Erich Traub, a virologist who had worked in Nazi Germany’s biological warfare program and was later brought to the United States to assist American research efforts.
During the Cold War, facilities such as Plum Island Animal Disease Center and Fort Detrick conducted classified research into infectious diseases and biological warfare agents. Some of that work included studying insects and ticks as vectors capable of spreading disease.
Finnegan argues that the public deserves a full accounting of what happened during those decades of secret experimentation — and whether the origins of Lyme disease intersect with that history.
With Lyme disease affecting hundreds of thousands of Americans annually and questions resurfacing in Congress and the media, Finnegan can discuss:
• The hidden history of America’s Cold War bioweapons programs and biowarfare
• Operation Paperclip and the recruitment of Nazi scientists
• What newly surfaced reporting reveals about tick-based experiments relative to biowarfare
• The personal toll of Lyme disease and why patients feel ignored
• Why the full truth about Lyme’s origins remains so controversial
Part investigative historian, part survivor, Adam Finnegan brings both personal experience and deep research to one of the most unsettling medical mysteries of the modern era.

ABOUT A.W. (ADAM) FINNEGAN…
Adam Finnegan is a survivor of Lyme disease and immune tolerance and has been battling health problems since he was young, with the onset of a chronic disease in 2016. He is a writer, graphic artist and designer, and avid reader and researcher of history, biological warfare, esoteric philosophy, spirituality, and the Western Mystery Traditions. He has made a special study of the life and work of Erich Traub and the science of immune tolerance. He has collected and translated to English all of Traub’s published research. He lives in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, peacefully by himself, where he enjoys BMX biking, fitness, study, the arts, and self-development.
